Hyderabad Police Warn of WhatsApp Banking Scam
Hyderabad police have warned about a WhatsApp scam in which victims receive a message falsely claiming that money has been withdrawn from their bank account. The message tells recipients to reply “No” if they did not approve the transaction.
The alarming message is designed to provoke a panicked response. Engaging with it may expose victims to further fraud, including attempts to get them to open malicious links or files or disclose personal information. A Hyderabad chartered accountant reportedly lost hundreds of thousands of rupees.
How to Stay Safe
- Don’t reply to the message, click links, or download attachments.
- Check transactions using your bank’s official app or website.
- Contact your bank only through its official customer service channels.
- Never share your OTP, PIN, or password.
- Block and delete suspicious messages.
If money is stolen, contact your bank immediately and report the incident to India’s cybercrime helpline at 1930 or at cybercrime.gov.in. Keep screenshots and transaction records for the report.
